Hello,
I am AShok from Mussoorie, Uttranchal. I run a garments shop.
In 2010 I had hired a contractor. The details are as-
1] To construct house of 5500 sq feet which is legally passed by MDDA.
2] To constract at a fixed cost of Rs.8.00 per sq feet with material.
3] he will take a min of 5% or max. of 10% of entire cost after completion of
the house.
Now the situation is-
1] He has contructed a house of 6800 sq feet. so which increases our total
cost from 44 lacs to 54 lacs now.
2] He has made an additional bill of 7 lacs for constructing things already
covered under the Covered AREA agreement.
But the fact is his bill of 7 lacs has no proper authentication. ONly few
things which total amount to 2lacs is extra which we are ready to pay.
3] He is not working acc. to agreement and is saying he will take all the
cost before completing the house.
So the problem is that acco. to our budget we were max. supppose to pay him
45-46lacs.
But we have already under his consistent threats of leaving the house
contruction in between only...paid him 50 lacs.
But so far -
1] no wood work has been done [ including doors, windows, modular kitchens,
almirahs, drawers]
2] no sanitary work done
3] no paint work done
4] no gloating of the roof
5] no windows [ with glass work, net[jaali] n grill]
6] no railing of the stairs
Now i m stuck badly after taking 50lacs also he has not done any finishing in
the house. I asked him to take another 8 lacs....[i dont know how i will
arrange that money...still] but he is demanding 11-12lacs more on no valid
grounds.
He has left the premises and said..." jo karna hai kar lo, jisko bulana hai
bula lo, mai kisi court se nai darta......mai pura paise pehle
lunga......chahe vo paise sahi ho ya galat...mujhe nai pata............ho
sakta hai mai paise lekar bhi kaam na karun"
So readers let me tell you i m 57 years old.. i saved all my money for this
house. And plus took bank loan. And i ve paid him to my max. capaciy. BUt he
is not putting an end to money-taking. I am frustated and in such a big
tension. There is huge loan interest on me now.
I do not know what to do and seek whose advice and help. Please suggest me
how to deal with this blackmailing.
